SpeechToy is on one of the earlier Fish Disks. These disks contain freely redistributable software, and are compiled by Fred Fish. You should be able to copy these disks (46 at last count) if you have a friend that has them. Check to see if there is a local Amiga club, as well. If you can't find them locally, you can order the disks from Fred directly: > HOW TO ORDER > ------------ > To order, send a list of the disks you want, and $6 per disk ($5 per disk > for 10 or more disks), in U.S. funds, to: > > Fred Fish > 1346 W. 10th Place > Tempe, Az 85281 > > (602) 921-1113 (Sorry, I can only return calls collect.) > > Price includes cost of media, mailing materials, and first class domestic > postage. Overseas orders add $5 per order for Air Mail. Time and other > jobs permitting, all disks will be mailed within 3 days of receipt of order. Not everything on these disks is useful, but they are in general worth their price (and then some!). My 3-1/2-year-old likes SpeechToy (disk 5), Moire (disk 9), Mandelbrot (disk 31), and Sproing (disk 33). He also likes to play _Winnie the Pooh in the Hundred Acre Wood_ (a commercially-available game), but he needs constant help with it, since he cannot read. . .

I just purchaced this weekend, the 1.2 workbench/kickstart upgrade from a computer store. If I remember correctly speachToy is included, together with it's icon. Included with the third (extras) disk is emacs, I haven't tried this yet. The price of the upgrade is $15. I was told that this upgrade had been available of about a month.

Some time ago I posted a plea for help with editing WorkBenchObjects so I could store windowsettings, etc. Rob Peck replied that his latest version of Speech Toy had the source for doing this and more (AREXX). I have been unable to find this version. Could someone please tell me where I can find this??? (Fish Disk?)
